This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hawkins Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WCC.2ACE/4253.2 Message Board Post: There is no death record of anyone with the surname HAWKINS in the Jackson County death records prior to December 1949. Not finding the record here or in Mason County does not mean that his death did not occur in either of the counties, it only means that no one bothered to report it to the county clerk. Church records or old family Bible records will most likely be your best bet. Les Shockey
